Author: Jonathan Swift and Popular Culture Myth, Media and the Man
Author: A. KellyPublisher: Palgrave Macmillan

Book Description
Ann Kelly's provocative book breaks the mold of Swift studies. Twentieth century Swift scholars have tended to assess Jonathan Swift as a pillar of the eighteenth-century 'republic of letter', a conservative, even reactionary voice upholding classical values against the welling tide of popularization in literature. Kelly looks at Swift instead as a practical exponent of the popular and impressario of the literary image. She argues that Swift turned his back on the elite to write for a popular audience, and that he annexed scandals to his fictionalized print alter ego, creating a continual demand for works by or about this self-mythologized figure. A fascinating look at print culture, the commodification of the author, and the history of popular culture, this book should provoke lots of discussion.

Book Description
This detailed study of the works of Stephen Bleecker Luce provides an excellent portrait of the man and a timely comment on the intellectual heritage of the U.S. Navy.

Luce had the greatest influence on his fellow officers. Luce and his associates were faced with a changing strategic environment in which the challenge was to build a Navy capable of exercising the international potential of the U.S. They faced the technological challenge of an industrial revolution and a world steeped in sociological and political change. Luce's experience will provide a useful perspective for the contemporary naval officer. Illus.
